Everything Quiet.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-lSpecal Telegram to the
BEE. The scene around the criminal court
building and county Jail this morning was an
exceedingly quiet and peaceful one. There
was nothing in il to suggest to the casual OBJ
server that events of momentous interest
relating to the taking away of the lives of
seven human beings were going on within
the dark, sombrc walls or that since ycster
day afternoon when the news of the refusal
of the highest court in the land to interfere
with the penalty which twelve of their fellow
citizens had fixed as the just punishment of
their crime was received measures of the
most vigorous character had been adopted
and executed to prevent any interference
with the carrying out of the laws just SEN
tence, should any be attempted, and preserve
the peace under all circumstances. There
was nothing on the surface to indicate that
several wagon loads of rifles and other arms
had been conveyed to and disposed of within
the Jail in such manner as to be most cffec-
tive should it ever be required to
use them, or that the force of
police on the North Side had been
greatly strengthened, the extra guards
being stationed at points within easy reach
of the Jail so that they could reach it without
loss of time and be on hand to quell any dis
turbanCe that might be attempted either
within or without the Jail walls. Yet all
this has been done, the quietness and and
dispatch with which the work was executed
testifyng to its effectiveness There was no
appearance of extra force around the build
ing, and the patrolmen, detectives and dep
uty sherffs who were on duty went their
rounds in the most unostentatious manner
possible as if anxious to attract no attention
They were there nevertheless, and their
presence was accepted as guarantee that
every necessary precaution was being taken
to avoid and prevent any untoward event.
At 8 80 o'clock, the hour. when the con-
demned men are allowed out of their cells
ior morning exercise, they descended to the
cage and prepared to receive any friends who
might visit them. There was nothing in
their demeanor this morning to indicate that
they stood under the shadow of the gal
lows.
The first visitor to arrive was Miss Engel
She Immediately entered into conversation
with her father and remained in earnest con-
fab with him during the whole time allowed
them for conference. Her manner was sub
dued and solemn and the sad, grave express
sion of her face showed that she realized to
the full the gravity of the situation.
Miss Engel was closely followed by Louis
Lingg's sweetheart, who carried on with her
bctrothcd an animated conversation for over
an hour. Her appearance presented II Won
derful contrast to that of Miss Engel Her
manner partook even of gaiety, and during
the conversation she had with her lover u
ringing laugh several times broke the current
of her remarks. On bidding him good-by she
n mi and Il
each OF his fingers in turn as he passed them
through the wire grating of the cage.
Next came Mrs. Schwab, accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. Schnaubclt, and her two
little children and Mrs. Fischer and her two
children. For the first time since the men
have been lncarceratcd their little children
were refused adlnittance TO the cage today.
Miss Van Landt followed the other women
In close order. She wore a small purple vel
vet bonnet, with phcasants feathers, q short
grey Jacket and purple velvet skirt. She
looked extremelypale, and dnring her entire
conversation with Spies her handkerchief
was frequently and hastily passed across her
eyes. When the time was up for her to 90
she fingered, keeping her eyes on him all the
time he was making his way to his cell and
then, as he was entering it, she shouted up to
him: August, will | bring you any books ~
He replied; "Yes, will take some books,
and you may bring me some foolscap paper -
Then he vanished within his cell, and his
proxy wife sadly and slowly left the jail
